Through blistering Summers or frozen Winter chill, I know you love me now and you always will
You, my beloved are my heart’s delight.

(For Courtney, with my loving devotion)
Dear Mindy, I was listening
to the songs you used to sing
there were things in them that shed light
on your confusion and your pain
Hindsight’s 20/20, so they say
If someone had seen it sooner
maybe something could have changed
So many people miss you every day

In her heart he’s found
his promised land
She makes him want to be
the best man he can
He’s going to Love her strong
with every breath he draws
and hold her tight
with his two hands
as long as he can
The life they’ve built together,
Is worth all the storms they’ve weathered
and he’d gladly do it all again

Rodney was raised on the highway and in the jam joints
His daddy was a picker in a Southern band
He raised Rodney with a stern but loving hand
Taught him how to play guitar, and other skills that he’d take far and wide
On the day his daddy died, Rodney he let loose and cried, held on to that casket tight for a while
Then whispered as they finally laid it low
“I don’t know how I’ll let him go, daddy thank you for all that I know, and all the Love you gave”
as a smile found it’s way to his face

Ever since my childhood’s hour,
You stood toe to toe, with things I’ll never know, to keep me safe and I thank you for it
Thank you, is the best that I can muster, even though I think I owe you so much more.
Daddy you were one of my first heroes, you taught me what it was to be a man
I will never have it perfect, but even so,
I’ll keep in mind and hold tight to your example, and do the best I can

She said:
“If you’re not in it for the long haul, don’t bother at all, because I don’t want to fall, just to end up in an abyss.
Call me a cynic, but I don’t want you if your heart’s not really into this, just had to tell you like it is”

A little man gets so excited, says
“I’m hanging w/daddy today !!!”
It’s so great to see the innocence,
the happiness & light upon his face
as they laugh & play
These are precious, priceless,
beautiful treasured days
It won’t be long until they’re gone
measured only in Love,dreams,
& memories
Time’s always rushing on it’s way it seems
So, they’re living right in the moment,
holding it tight and that’s okay

I like Cheese steak when I’m hungry
Coffee or tea when I’m dry
All the Love I could ever want
Makes my heart want to fly
By: J.N.R Dutton
At some points, we’ve all had hearts broken
heard and said things we wish were never spoken
but I hope and ask that you keep your heart wide open
Always hoping, always holding on to Love
as firmly as you can
By: J.N.R Dutton
I’ve got a dear sweet friend heavy on my mind,
though she’s left this world behind,
she’s still a profound part of mine,
in my memory she’ll forever shine.
(A tribute to one of the best friends I ever had)
